LeSean McCoy touched the football 32 times on Monday night, including 31 carries.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t mind it Monday night,\u201d he said. \u201cI think we can do a better job rotating because it\u2019s a long season. I don\u2019t think I need to have the ball 31, 32 times in a game for us to be a successful offense. We have too many different weapons. I think the running backs we have here can definitely play. Bryce Brown showed you last year he\u2019s definitely a talented back. So I think we have to do a better job of monitoring the reps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown had nine rushes himself as the Eagles put together a fast tempo attack in the first half against Washington Monday night.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Tim McManus<\/a>, McCoy said coming off the field was as much his responsibility as it was the Eagles coaching staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou try to give 100 percent on every play, and there\u2019s times when you get gassed or you get nicked up a time or two and that 100 percent drops a little bit, and I think that\u2019s the time you come out and get the other guy in that\u2019s fresh and get his 100 percent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey just talk about, if you\u2019re tired, come off, because the coach understands that it\u2019s a fast tempo. We train hard and are in good enough shape to run the offense but we\u2019re only human so we\u2019re going to be tired.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCoy’s career high for carries is 273. For those who like pace stats, he is currently on pace for a eye-popping 496.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
